Play acting becomes real for two young men at the Collège de Roberval, as ardent words transform into a passionate kiss. Written by Michel Marc Bouchard, and...

The story is compelling, vivid, heartbreaking. It is informed by a deep sense of Quebec history and tradition, with its long story of Catholic domination, But at its heart is a story of true love, whose course, another great playwright has observed, never did run smooth. It is embodied in exquisite but never precious language which blurs with poetry at many points; it also shows the (literal) whiplash of brutality, yet can break an awkward or a poignant mood with wit, often mordant. The characters are present in their speech, their relationships layered, their very different psychologies precisely observed. It is a classic of Canadian theatre, which is to say of theatre outright.
